Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 133: Frost and Snow Without a Trace
If Rin Shanhai said that he felt that the Frost Moon Monarch and the Sect Master of the Snow Yan Sect still had some affection.
He didn't know if Mu Wan thought so, but Dai Luan had always been a clever ghost, and he understood some of the implications. It's just that at this moment, she was so sleepy that she yawned a lot and squeezed out a few tears.
"The story is over. The girl can get out of the way, right? Frost Moon Jun also asked lazily.
Mu Wan refused to budge: "This matter is not so simple. You've got to tell me, where is the Demon Sealing Blade? If you count its scabbard, you must know where it goes. β
"Huh? What are you going to do with the Demon Blade? Your master has spent most of his life helping me find a way to untie it, and you're going to find it. β
Shanhai intervened in the stalemate between the two and sincerely saluted Frost Moon Jun.
"You don't know. The one who kidnapped their suzerain was one of your colleagues, Yingyue-kun. It was restricted by Lord Yama and was bent on lifting those chains, so he was tied up to know the whereabouts of the Demon Sealing Blade. Perhaps only the Demon Sealing Blade can cut the chains of that Lord in this world. β
"Well, I know that, and it's true." Frost Moon Jun groaned, "Hmm...... But it didn't work. While I'm connected to the Demon Sealer, I really don't know where it is. The Demon Sealing Blade is not a sword in the world, it is a demon knife forged by Shura, not just as simple as you think - it has demons. The unsheathed wedge is just a decoration for ordinary people. Hundreds of years ago, I left it in the world, and I left it alone, waiting for the day when someone would pull it out of its sheath again and take my place. β
"You just don't want to be impermanent?" Mu Wan was puzzled.
Frost Moon Jun squinted at her, frowning slightly, followed by a disdainful sneer.
"Tsk. I've had enough, you like you to do it. He let out a long yawn, "PhewβI wish someone would pull it out and let me be reincarnated as soon as possible." I was tired of listening to that lord all day long. β
Yawning is really contagious, and Dai Luan followed up with another one. With her mouth wide open, she said indistinctly:
"We're looking for a cloud mirror...... When the cloud mirror is found, everything is solved. β
"But the map was ......," Mu Wan said.
"I carried it."
"What?"
The three of them looked at her at the same time, especially Mu Wan, their eyes were full of incredulity.
"Well, it's not that hard." "I've been watching it for a long time," she explained. It's much easier to remember graphics than to endorse...... But we ran out of inkstones and had to buy them again. β
Frost Moon Jun looked at Dai Luan in a daze, looking up and down for a long time. Then, he took a soft breath.
"I've heard other impermanence ghosts talk about you...... It's an incredible girl. Cloud Extrascope? It's something that no one has seen in years. Okay, it's too much time to talk to you, so let's go and go our own ways. β
"Wait!" Seeing that he was about to leave, Shan Hai stopped him, "It's not a secret, we are being troubled by Wu Yuangui, and they will soon get the map of the Cloud Outer Mirror...... We have to be one step ahead of them. So, could you please borrow our Huangquan Bell for use? We...... I had to cross the spiritual vein again. β
ββ¦β¦ Again? Frost Moon raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm, with the help of Jiyue-kun and Yeyue-kun, we came here directly from Wule City."
"No Joy City?" He repeated, "Jiyue-kun and Hazuki-kun? These two are really bold. Didn't they tell you that the mortal body travels back and forth between the six realms to break the yang life? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Oh, it doesn't look like so."
ββ¦β¦ Truly. But we can't complain about them, after all, we have urgent things to rush back, so we have to make this decision. Though...... One of our companions had been lost in the gap between the six realms due to some accident. But, they said they would find a way to ......"
"Looks like you're in a hurry to leave. Still trying to find a way? There are many bad lucks, and no bones can be found when the corpses are collected. What's more, Huang Quanling can't protect so many of you, I'm afraid I'll have to take another one in. I've heard of your companion, the Lord of the Hundred Bones. Don't do too much for lack of morality, just deduct Yangshou directly. β
"Who would have you say that about him?!" Mu Wan was anxious again.
"I can't help you anyway, I'll figure it out myself. Why do you want to go back again? β
"No......," Shanhai hesitated, "Actually, we don't know where to go." But, get out of here first. β
"That's incredible. Isn't my time time? You've delayed me long enough. I'm going to go to the city of no music. β
Dai Luan scratched her ears and asked casually, "What are you going to do?" Catch Tang He? β
"The Assassin? Not. I'm going to find a half-demon. Under the nose of Jiyuejun, he was robbed by an egret spirit...... I'm going to clean up the mess. Although they must have fled long ago, I still have to look for clues. If you want to find a place to rest, there are a few old farmers who work as ferrymen in the southern river. β
ββ¦β¦ Thank you, Frost Moon Jun. β
Mu Wan crossed his waist: "So what to do politely, that's what he should do." I haven't finished settling this account with him yet. β
More words, the three of them didn't know what to say, they just stood in place, you look at me, I look at you. Frost Moon Jun was really leaving, but no one could find any more words. However, just as he was walking for a while, Frost Moon Jun suddenly stopped. Although he didn't look back, he said:
"The head of the Snow Yan Sect once promised me that he was willing to be the one who pulled out the sword and unsheathed it."
"What? Don't lie to me. How could he ......"
Frost Moon is gone. Shanhai bowed to the departing back. He slowly straightened up and sighed.
Presumably, this is the reason why Mu Wan's master helped him study the Demon Sealing Blade, and it is also the reason why Frost Moon Jun is still willing to associate with him. It seems that the two of them are really not friends of life and death, but just have direct interests.
"Ahh......h Even if you get the Cloud Outer Mirror, as well as the Unabandoned Ah Qi, Ten Thousand Ghost Will, and the Sealing Demon Blade, you have to find them one by one. And it's not something you can just tell someone about. When the time comes, we will also be lacking in skills. β
"Let's talk about it if we can find it."
They traveled all the way south to the riverside that Frost Moon Jun was pointing to. This place is not even familiar to Mu Wan, she only knows the road in and out of the valley that she often takes. After paying a few boat fares, they went down the river and found a small town along the river. The town is also not big, and it doesn't even have a name. The sky was completely bright, and the vast white pierced the eyes.
After finding a small hotel, Dai Luan collapsed on the hard bed and didn't want to move.
Shanhai borrowed ink from the front desk.
"Wake up, you said you memorized the map, draw it out and sleep first."
"Woke up...... Just draw ...... I will ......never forget what I have memorized."
"What if? Draw now. β
Reluctantly, Dai Luan got up and picked up the pen. Mu Wan, who was sitting on the side, sighed with dark circles under his eyes.
"I ......don't understand," she said, "why does my master want to be impermanent?" He lost his wife and daughter back then, and with his character, it was reasonable to want to apologize for his sins with death. Why did he pursue the path of eternal life? β
"Maybe in addition to the competition, Frost Moon Jun is also kind to him." Shan Hai propped up his heavy head with one hand, "I'll say it casually." It's been a long time since they've done that, and it's not possible now. We outsiders can't tell. β
Maybe he wants to find the reincarnation of his wife and daughter, and silently compensate them. Shuangyuejun didn't say anything, when did he promise to find a way to draw his sword. Dai Luan paints while picking up stubble.
"Yes. But I'm ...... Very frustrating. I have been his apprentice for more than ten years, but now that he is gone, I realize that I don't know anything about his old man at all. β
"People have many facets. The time of a lifetime is too short to see it all. β
I don't know why, when she heard Shanhai's words, she thought of Qingluya and Chengyou. I don't know if the painting he painted was made or notβall she could see that day was just a horn of the green deer. The human heart is also so large that a blind man can only perceive one side of an elephant.
Cheng Youyi wants to be a first-class painter, or is it the six paths of impermanence?
"All human progress comes from continuous accumulation and practice. As long as it's been long enough and I've seen enough things, I think anything can be done. Cheng You said.
"As a human being, it's normal for you to think like that. But......" she looked at him with those terrifyingly large eyes, "do you know how long I have lived? β
"Miss Xiao'e has a very strong demonic spirit, I think, at least she is a monster who has been cultivating for hundreds of years."
She nodded.
"I don't remember how old I was, and I don't know when I was born. I just remember that I was born in May. May is very humid and cold. In the past few hundred years, I have lived in Qinglize and have never left a step. β
"Oh? Then you must know Satsuki-kun. β
"I know, I've seen it a few times. I've heard that she always makes odd offers, but she doesn't ask me what I've ever asked for. I told her I wanted to find one...... Someone I've probably never met. She told me who it was, and she told me that the man would come occasionally, but he would go very quickly, so I didn't know. But I'm familiar with his breath. Even if you can't remember other youkai, you can always tell him apart. β
"Huh? Can't you beg her to tell him about impermanence and let him stay for a while? β
She didn't agree...... This may be the price of a gratuitous solution. She also said that I had to find out for myself to understand the reason. I understand that, too. And ......"
"And?"
Ji'e stopped, and Cheng You looked at her curiously.
"I've found him."
"Really? Where is he? Yes...... It's none of my business. He smiled, "Shall we leave it at that?" β
She replied softly, "I think so." That man...... Don't like humans. β
"Ah, I understand. I didn't expect it to be you first. All in all, I wish you all the best. β
"Thank you anyway." She raised her head and looked at the sun in the sky, "I'm one step closer to that feeling of warmth." β
Cheng Yu waved his hand indifferently, turned around, and prepared to go to the groom. Although Ji'e knows his direction, he is still far from his own goal.
"Becoming a son and slow. This one is for you. β
As soon as he got on the horse, he handed him a small pink purse. He untied his mouth and saw that there was some shimmering powder inside.
"Yo, it's high-end goods." He tapped it with his fingertips, "This phosphorus powder has many uses besides being used as a pigment and a medicinal herb. Thank you girl, but Cheng has nothing to repay and is ashamed. β
"It doesn't matter. But I'm still a little curious, what did you exchange from Gao Yuejun for Ruyuejun's painting? I wanted to see that thingβthe thing that would make you give up the painting that you had been haunted by. β
"Of course, that's not a problem."
With that, Cheng You took out an object from his arms. The object was also small, about the size of the little purse that the girl had given him. He carried it in his hand. Under sunlight, it glows with smooth and subtle colours.
One ...... Silver bells.
